Why partner with 2 Forks Events
Some goals are not met by a single ad or article. If you want to build sustained awareness across a season, support the local events scene, or become a recognised name for a type of experience, a partnership makes more sense. Working together over time lets us understand your programme properly, plan content that genuinely helps readers plan, and give you a consistent, trusted presence — all while keeping the clear labelling that protects everyone.
Types of partnership
- Content series — a regular run of labelled sponsored features or guides across a season.
- Co-published guides — jointly created listings or resources, clearly attributed.
- Event collaborations — media support for a festival, launch or programme.
- Ongoing advertising — recurring or exclusive placements handled as a programme.
- Launch collaborations — combining press releases, content and advertising around key dates.
Who we partner with
We look for partners whose interests match our readers’: festival and event organisers, venue and hospitality groups, ticketing and booking platforms, food and drink brands, and tourism and destination bodies. The best partnerships are with organisations that want to inform and delight audiences, not just advertise at them. If your programme would genuinely give our readers better nights out, there is likely a partnership shape that works.
How partnerships stay honest
A long relationship does not mean a blurred line. Every paid element of a partnership is labelled, and our independent editorial coverage stays our own — a partner does not get to approve our reviews or kill an unfavourable piece. We do not offer undisclosed or disguised paid links as part of any deal. These rules are what make a partnership with us worth having: our recommendation still means something because readers know it is not automatically for sale. See how we make money.

Frequently asked questions
What is a partnership with 2 Forks Events?
An ongoing, transparent collaboration — content, guides, event support or advertising — rather than a single placement.
How is it different from advertising?
Advertising is usually a defined placement; a partnership is a longer relationship that may combine several formats across a season.
Do partners control your editorial coverage?
No. Paid elements are labelled, and our independent reviews and reporting remain our own decision.
What does a partnership cost?
It depends entirely on scope. Tell us your goals and we will propose a plan with current rates.
Can we do a trial before committing?
Often yes — many partners start with a single labelled placement or feature and expand from there.
Do you partner with small independent organisers?
Yes. Some community partnerships focus on support and collaboration rather than large budgets.
Are partnership links disclosed?
Yes. Any paid or sponsored links within a partnership are labelled; we do not offer disguised paid links.
How do we measure success?
We agree goals up front and review against them, adjusting the plan as the partnership runs.
Do you offer events brand or media partnerships?
Yes — ongoing programmes combining advertising, disclosed content and features around your goals. Discuss one via our contact page.
